us shokh se kya kijiye izhaar-e-tamanna
ye log koi sunte hain guftar-e-tamanna

ek aarzu sab le gae sath apne jahan se
anjam kisu se na hua kar-e-tamanna

ye khubi-e-qismat ki mile bagh-e-jahan se
sab ko gul-e-umid o hamein khar-e-tamanna

hasrat se bhara dil mere pahlu mein nahin hai
phirta hun baghal mein liye tumar-e-tamanna

pahlu ko mere bagh kiya ishq ne tere
zakhmon se mera dil hua gulzar-e-tamanna

murdon se 'huzur' ho na sake minnat-e-duna
sar jae par un se na uthe bar-e-tamanna
